[Intro]
Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in
We brought the battle, we saw the signs
We've found ourselves two steps behind
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm counting days like they're running out
There's ghosts in the water, so pray for drought
[Chorus]
This time there's nowhere to hide
We're facing the firing squad side by side
1986, this is full relapse
Our latest apocalypse, this is colony collapse
[Verse]
Give us the rope, and we'll tie our own noose
We truly believed all we touched turned to gold
We were warned, but we wouldn't be told
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm counting days like they're running out
There's ghosts in the water, so pray for drought
[Chorus]
This time there's nowhere to hide
We're facing the firing squad side by side
They said the ocean's on fire
Say it isn't true, say it isn't true
The truth never hurt so much
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?
1986, this is full relapse
Our latest apocalypse, this is colony collapse
[Post-Chorus]
Colony collapse
[Bridge]
(Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in)
(Dear, oh dear, what a sorry state we're in)
They said the ocean's on fire
Say it isn't true, say it isn't true
The truth never hurt so much
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?
[Chorus]
This time there's nowhere to hide
We're facing the firing squad side by side
They said the ocean's on fire
Say it isn't true, say it isn't true
The truth never hurt so much
Can we start anew? Can we start anew?
1986, this is full relapse
Our latest apocalypse, this is colony collapse
